what methods are you guys running to set idle air mixtures, and are there any tips that make getting it close easier? any performance tips?

gotta time and tune the carb, and set the idle up a little (cam).

also is the bigger or smaller fitting on the carb the one for the vac advance,

should i set the carb with a vacuum guage?

so far i cant get the float levels to set, gonna go pick up a couple new needle valves today.

when i have the needle valve assy out how far should i screw it back in before i try to start it to set my float levels?

ok ive set everything back to standard settings, I can get the car to idle for about 20 seconds, then it just kills off and sputters. no matter what i do to the carb (set idle screws on primary and secondary, or move the idle mixture screws in) it stays the same

i am lost on where to go next, i just need the thing to idle so i can set the idle mixture by vacuum guage, and set the timing.

any ideas of what to do next?

no but advancing or retarding makes not a difference. tried that.
